How to choose a hammock

Contrary to appearances, this process is quite complex. Once you must first answer the question: where do I want to use a hammock? In the garden, at home, or here and here. If you already decide where you want to use the hammock, think about the material we want our dream hammock to be. It may be a classic mesh or material without holes :), which is more comfortable. The color of the hammock is also important! :) If you plan to rest with children in the garden, it is best to choose colored hammocks, pastel colors or, if possible, those with lush colors. If, however, we plan to go on a trip in which we have calculated the presence of extreme conditions (bivouacs, lodges in the forest), we should equip a dark hammock, it may be dark green or bronze. We also need to decide what material we are interested in. We have a choice of: organic cotton, cotton of lama, polyester, polypropylene, yarn, loom, nylon, parachute, Eutex by Amazonas and La Siesta Hamactex.

Assembly system

The hammock can be mounted in many ways and it's really hard to judge which one is the best. It all depends on where we want the to use hammock and who is to be its user ...

Maintenance methods
Maintenance of the hammocks depends primarily on where we use them and from which raw materials are made of stands. If we use a hammock in the garden we should especially care for it, because it is exposed to many external factors such as sun, rain, moisture, corrosion. We should stock up with substances that protect the raw material from which our hammock is made. Also remember to remove the canvas from the stand when you have finished using the hammock to prevent, for example, the sun from staining. If we use a hammock at home we do not have to be very involved in its maintenance. Simply wipe the stand with a dry cloth from time to time.
